Ah, now I got it. Looking at the log for vsprintf.c, it seems there were quite a few fixes to do with overflowing on precision. http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/stdio-common/vfprintf.c?cvsroot=glibc This bug seems relevant, but I think the patch is in 2.5.1. http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4438 In fact, the patch from that bug adds the test that you're failing. http://sourceware.org/ml/glibc-cvs/2007-q3/msg00113.html So, uh, I guess that bug wasn't fixed by 2.5.1. If this is your only error, I'd suggest moving on for now. You can try to keep digging for the fix from glibc CVS, but I don't know if I'd be applying patches that I didn't understand to glibc. Next to the kernel, it's pretty much that component that drives everything. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
